Presentation Transcript

  1. Macromolecules are large molecules formed by joining smaller organic molecules together

  2. Lipids • Store energy • Provide steroids • Waterproof coating • Molecules made mostly of carbon and hydrogen

  3. Carbohydrates • Stores energy • Provides structural support • Compounds composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in a ratio of one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms for each carbon atom—(CH2O)n

  4. Nucleic Acids • Stores and communicates genetic information • complex macromolecules that store and transmit genetic information • Nucleic acids are made of smaller repeating subunits called nucleotides, composed of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, and hydrogen atoms

  5. Proteins • Transports substances • Speeds reactions • Provides structural supports • Provides hormones • A compound made of small carbon compounds called amino acids • Amino acids are small compounds that are made of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, and sometimes sulfur.
